About: Hi! I love all furry friends (cats & dogs). I’ve been caring for cats for about 9 years and really enjoy spending time playing with them. I also love going on walks with dogs, it’s always more fun with a companion 😊 I’m patient and attentive, and I always try to make pets feel comfortable and cared for. Looking forward to meeting you and your lovely pets! Pet care fits well into my routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to plan my day around visits and give pets the attention they need. I’m consistent and reliable, and I make sure each visit is part of my regular routine. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. During visits, I provide fresh water, proper feeding, and keep their environment clean. I also spend time playing with them or keeping them company, depending on their personality. I pay attention to small details and their behavior, so I can notice if anything seems off. I also send updates with photos and videos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: Ive lived with and cared for cats for over five years, and I currently have three of my own. I'm used to feeding schedules, special diets, litter care, and noticing when a pet is acting off. I've also looked after friends' pets, including overnight care for a cat and dog that needed extra patience at night. I'm calm, reliable, and good at following an owner's routine exactly. I treat your pet like my own. You'll get photo and text updates on every visit, so you're never wondering how they're doing. I follow your instructions closely, whether that's a special diet, a specific walk route, or a certain way of doing things. I'm also flexible with scheduling and easy to reach if plans change. I've set aside time for pet care around my work, so I can usually do walks and drop-ins during the day, plus evenings and weekends. Overnight stays work for me too. I'm a big believer in showing up when I say I will, and if anything changes, I'll tell you right away. Last-minute request? Message me, and I'll do my best to make it work. I come to you, so your pet gets to stay in their own space with their own bed, toys, and routine. That's usually the least stressful for them. I'll follow your instructions for food, walks, and little quirks, and I'll send you photos and updates so you can relax while you're away. I'm also happy to do a quick meet-and-greet first so we can all get comfortable

“Not only does my dog absolutely adore Sarah, she is very warm and friendly, but she is also so responsive and punctual which I really appreciate! There’s a reason why she gets 5 ⭐️ reviews and repeat business. I’ve used her several times now and have booked her for my upcoming vacation now that I have a peace of mind that my dog is in very good hands. Even dog owners in the neighbourhood bumped into Sarah during walks and said she was really responsive and friendly with Loki. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve dog sat for many pet owners who have relied on me to walk, feed and groom their dogs and puppies. I’m hard-working, caring, dedicated, and organized. I absolutely love taking care of dogs and puppies! I have plenty of time to devote to your pups as I do Rover full time. It is so important to be that your fur ball feels well cared for! I have a spacious park area around my building as a play area for the dogs and moderate sized apartment. I can also crate the dog if needed.

About: Hi, I’m Sanjay — a lifelong dog lover and proud pet parent to Zane, my friendly and well‑trained 3‑year‑old German Shepherd. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 10, and over the years, friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me with everything from walks to feeding, medication routines, and general pet care. I work a hybrid schedule (three days in the office), but I’m flexible and available for walks and drop‑in visits throughout the week and on weekends. I focus on reliable communication, punctuality, and making sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and understood. Your dog will get: • Consistent, attentive care • Structured walks tailored to their energy level • Drop‑ins with feeding, playtime, and check‑ins • A calm, pet‑friendly home environment if needed for brief visits • A friendly resident dog (Zane!) who loves meeting new buddies I treat every dog like my own - with patience, affection, and respect for their unique personality and routine. As a dog owner myself, caring for Zane is already part of my everyday life — feeding, structured walks, playtime, and outdoor breaks — so integrating care for other pets fits naturally into my routine. I’m used to managing different energy levels and personalities, and I make sure every pup gets the same level of attention and care I give my own. Safety and trust are at the center of how I care for pets. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pup is in good hands. Whether I’m visiting your home or taking your dog out for a walk, I follow a consistent routine focused on comfort, structure, and awareness. In Your Home (Drop‑In Visits) • Routine consistency — I follow your dog’s existing schedule for feeding, walks, medication, and playtime so they feel secure and relaxed. • Home safety — I make sure doors are locked, gates are secured, and your pet stays in their designated safe areas. • Clean environment — I tidy up food bowls, wipe paws if needed, and ensure your home is left exactly as I found it. • Clear communication — You’ll receive updates, photos, and notes after every visit so you always know how your pup is doing. During Walks • Leash safety — I use secure leashing, avoid unsafe areas, and keep full control at all times. • Weather awareness — I adjust walk length and pace based on heat, cold, or rain to keep your dog comfortable. • Behavior monitoring — I pay close attention to your dog’s body language and energy level, avoiding overstimulation or stressful encounters.

About: Hi !We're a couple with a lifelong love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. We have experience caring for my own Bichon, who is now 6 years old and currently in China. Since he was a puppy, I have been responsible for his daily walks, feeding, grooming, and overall well-being. I am patient, reliable, and genuinely love animals, treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I love taking walks every day and enjoy spending time outdoors, so regular dog walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pets with the attention, exercise, and care they need throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for pets and always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, and routines. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, regular walks, fresh water, and lots of affection. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being to ensure they feel secure and happy while their owners are away.

About: In 2021, I visited Istanbul, Turkey. During my visit there, I fed and cared for all the stray cats in the streets. I did my best to ensure they had food in their tummies along with some gentle pets. This initiative was completely self-funded, but nonetheless I would do it all over again as I strongly believe that animals are the kindest soul and deserve endless love and care. I currently have a 3 year old Bombay cat who I love and spoil like no other. In total, I have 5 years of experience taking care of cats and dogs. Don’t get me started on dogs…so pure. I am a busy woman, but that won’t stop me from taking care of your little one (or big)! I work full-time and currently studying to get my Masters (MBA). I will ensure that your pet gets whatever they need, whether that be food, water, toys, pets, love, and so on. Safety comes first, so I will treat your pet with caution and ensure their safety at all times.

About: I’ve been a dog lover for longer than I can remember. I’ve been told tales that I would feed my pet dogs my own food when I was 2/3 years old while my older sisters ran away from them. I’m currently available and at home throughout the week. I am interviewing for jobs but they are mostly done virtually. I’m on a fairly flexible schedule at the moment. I have a fenced back yard and one pet doggo called Zoro. It takes him some time to get used to other pets but is usually friendly although he tends to get along better with smaller dogs. I don’t have an extra crate at the moment but I am willing to get one!

First time using Krupali's dog walking service and really happy and impressed with her interaction with my almost senior dog. She took very good care of him, made every attempt to understand his walking requirements given that he's got health issues. From the videos she shared I noticed she gave him a lot of positive enforcement and did not rush him through the walk. The weather got a bit unpredictable during the walk and she took some time out to give my boy a bit of a break. Really appreciated that . Overall very happy with her service. Will definitely be returning.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Mississauga

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Mississauga is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 7,677 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Mississauga. About 86% of Mississauga sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Mississauga. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Mississauga after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find walkers in Mississauga with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Mississauga choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
